Ed Harcourt - Beautiful Lie

2006 release of the singer/songwriter's fifth album. Unlike some of his contemporaries, Harcourt's artistic flair just keeps getting better with each successive release. His unique songwriting talents have an uncanny ability to use rosy, upbeat melodies and lace them with an underlying dark streak that is both appealing to the ear and offers the thinking fan something more to explore on repeated listens. This album is another welcome addition to his near annual growing canon of work. Includes guest appearances from Graham Coxon, the Magic Numbers and BJ Cole.
